Joe, my Livingstoni; my favorite fish on earth (:

Red, our Oscar. He is tame as far as fish go.. he begs for food anytime someone walks by!

Pike cichlid; sorry this is the best angle I could get him at; he is elusive.

Side view.. there are also some large plecos, small channel cats, knifefish and 4 clawed frogs with some goldfish and 2 channel cats. They do get along and we've been running this tank for about 6 years now. Biggest problem is cleaning! Weekly water changes along with a canister filter and also a large hob filter make it happen.

I had tossed them in as feeders! About 4 months ago. I respect them for their tenacity, and they are definately too big now for anyone to eat, even the frogs. I actually toss in feeder minnows, and the former feeders, eat those!

:dog: :dog: i can picture the oscars begging :P

nice shots! lovely fish!

Thanks! Mark really personifies his Oscar. He can stick his hand in and actually pet it, and the fish seems to like it. If course I decry his doing so, warning about removing the fish's slime coat, etc. But Red seems none the worse for wear and I admit, it looks like he likes being pet! He will eat out of your hand also; not nastily or dangerously, but like a tame dog taking a treat from you.
